What Shall I Render

God gives His Spirit through His Son to give us His love that we may walk as Jesus did in that love and have confidence on the Day of Judgment. (1 Jn 4)

Remembering God is faithful is key to us escaping temptation and sin, and it helps move us forward in God's good purpose for our lives.

God has done what is impossible for us. He has made a clear and straight way for us to overcome sin and come to Him. Jesus is the Way to the Father and the Truth of God's faithfulness and power. (Matt 17:14-21; 2 Cor 6:2; 1 Cor 1:9; 10:13)

God has a message in His Son, a message that can help us in our time of need! (Matt 16; Heb 2:14-18; Heb 4:14-16).

My soul find rest in Christ, our God, alone. He, alone, is our Rock, Refuge, Deliverer, Strength, Support, and Salvation (Matt 16:18; Ps 18:1-2; 31:1-3; 62:1, et al. )

The Devil's defeat is found in the redemption Christ paid at the cross. We can live lives knowing Sovereignty of our King and finding freedom in our High Priest. (Matt 16:15; Heb 2:14-17; 4:14-16; 7:11-28).

The Mount of Transfiguration sums up for us that the hope God offers is found only in His Son. (Matt 16)

God's purpose and desires for us are trustworthy and bring life. The desires of man become stumbling blocks in the purpose of God (Matt 16; Jer 17).

Knowing and remembering who the Christ is can and will save us from our sins and temptations, as it will encourage us and direct us to submit to Him (Matt 16:13-27).

The Pharisees were rejecting Jesus' identity. The disciples accepted His identity, but misunderstood His mission/purpose (Matt 16).

We are born again in the Son, we are born into a living hope, and an glorious inheritance, and the faith that brings us this hope is far more precious than gold! (1 Pet 1:3-9)

But now, this is what the LORD says, He, who created you, O Jacob, He, who formed you, O Israel; Fear not, for I have redeemed you;  I have summoned you by name; you are mine. (Isa 43:1)

Faith that saves is faith that perseveres. (Matt 15)

Jesus is the I AM. He is God's promise to save, redeem, and rescue us. In Him, we find all the hope, courage, and endurance we will ever need, even and especially when our faith is little and we doubt! (Matt 14)

The promised Holy Spirit in God's eternal purpose of salvation (Acts 2:38-39).

We have the fullness of hope revealed to us in Christ. We have a hope more certain and specific than any of God's people of old. We have a hope that changes everything! We must not be moved from it, it is ours to hold and have! (Col 1:19-27; Psa 42)

The Apostle Paul prays for the church in Ephesus, .. the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened, in order that they know the hope to which God has called them, in Christ. (Eph 1:18; Rom 15:13).

God has shown His compassion on rebellious sinners by sending His Son. Christ's compassion shows up when people need it.

Those free from condemnation are also free from the frustration of, and obligation to, the flesh. They live in the peace and freedom given by God's Holy Spirit (Rom 8).

Unto Thee O Lord do I lift up my soul, let me not be ashamed, and let not my enemies triumph over me . . . Ps 25

The hope God offers us in His Son does not disappoint us! It is far greater than any suffering we may face in this world. Our hope is based on nothing less than the bedrock person of Christ Jesus, Himself!

Once slaves to sin, who bore fruit for death,but we have been made new and free by dying to what once bound us (old man/law) We have God's Spirit, in order that we might bear fruit to God and live a life of freedom from sin (Rom 6, 7).

It is imperative that we choose or be willing to be the good soil. We can choose and even train ourselves to have ears that hear.

Careless words spoken against God's King(dom), as a basis for life, will bring judgment on the Day of Judgment. (Matt 12:36-37)

If we listen to the Father and learn from Him, we will find life, in the Son!
